There is no religion that I would like to see discussed more. The religious arguments here bore the shit out of me. 99% of them are derivative of a handful of different arguments, and the people arguing them flat-out refuse to recognize the errors in their claims. I think I actually shorten my lifespan by reading those threads.
That being said, I don't think we've ever had a Mormon on here defending planet Kolob, so that would be something new to bring to the table.

There is never any discussion about the FSM. Clearly we all know he is real and al dente.

I would enjoy hearing from a follower of Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda. This Puerto Rican guy claims to be the second coming of Jesus. He has a huge church of devoted followers, and lives in Florida on the millions they give him. He has been compared to a David Koresh or Jim Jones. When an article reported that he has a tattoo of "666", 30 of his followers rushed out that day to get their own 666 tattoos. This is one weird dude.
Or Baha'i. They stand for a lot of good things, like equality and caring for the poor, but they also slavishly follow the writing of their prophets.
The Church of all Worlds sounds fun. It mixes Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" with Hogwarts and basic paganism.
Any Hindus around? I've never learned much about that religion. Buddhism would be good - they say a lot of the people who follow the Buddha's teachings are atheist.
But yeah, we mostly discuss variants of xtianity because we're surrounded by it.

Is there a Zoroastrian in the house? Or a Hasid? I wouldn't mind hearing from a Native American who actively practices his/her tribal rites.

I dare any atheist here to get into it with a Druid...and then go for a stroll in the nearest park.

We could use some Raëlians up in this b*tch. They're actually an atheistic religion, since they worship aliens. They're also pro-science and pro-sex. So a pretty sensible bunch of lunatics...
